Microsoft Windows non-core edtion

In some cases, you got the below error when you trying to activate your Windows Server using a MAK key. The error also occurs when you try to upgrade Windows Home to Pro.

C:\>cscript.exe %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.812

Error: 0xC004F069 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, 
run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F069' to display the error text.

The root cause is you’re using the Evaluation of Windows Server. So, you cannot activate or upgrade the MAK license key into it directly.

When you trying to activate using Change product key in Settings, you would get the following error.

Bg2269

Solution

To dealing with that:

  • First: You need convert or upgrade the Windows Evaluation to Standard or Datacenter using the public KMS (GVLK) key for Windows Server.
  • Second: Once the edition converted to Standard or Datacenter, you can use your own license key to activate the Windows license legally.

You can see the steps to convert Windows Server Evaluation to Full or in short, run the following command to upgrade Windows Server edition:

Note Note: Change the GVLK key in the below command to the one of Windows Server edition that you want to convert or upgrade to.
DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:N69G4-B89J2-4G8F4-WWYCC-J464C /AcceptEula

After you run that command, wait for the operation completed successfully (in some cases it may take several hours!!!) then restart your server.

Restart Windows to complete this operation.
Do you want to restart the computer now? (Y/N)

Finally, you can active the Windows license using your own license key as follows:

cscript.exe %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
cscript.exe %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato
C:\>cscript.exe %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

If you enter your own license key in the Windows Settings, the error should be gone, and you can activate the license normally.
